'[0 (all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, JULEs CESAR NaroLitoN FoUiLLoY, a citizen of theFrench Republic. and a resident of Paris, in the Department of Seine,France, haveinvented some new and useful Improvements inAttaching-Collars for Non-Slipping Protecting Devices for PneumaticTires. of which the following is a specification.

My invention has for its object an attaching-collar for fixing aroundthe pneumatic tires of automobiles the leather bands, so callednon-slipping protecting devices, of any system not cemented on thepneumatic tires.

Figure 1 of the annexed drawings is a plan view of the attaching-collar.Fig. 2 is a longitudinal elevation, and Fig. 3 is a side elevation. Inthis latter figure the collar is assumed to be mounted on the wheel ofthe automobile car.

The collar is composed of a thick leather piece 1, one of the ends ofwhich is slotted, as shown at X Y, having in its center an opening 2,corresponding to the shape of the spoke 13 of the wheel on which it isto be mounted. in order to give more strength to the collar,

the leather piece is covered with one or more sheets of copper 19. orany suitable metal or even with one or more coats of an inextensiblc ormetallic fabric. This metallic part 12 bends at the same time as theleather piece 1, when the latter tits around the rim 1 1 of the wheel.At both ends of the collar hooks are fixed, which are intended forreceiving the ring 15, which holds the edge of the leather piece 16,called non-slipping protecting device. On the not-slotted side is asingle hook T, held by two rivets 6 6. On the other side are twin hooks8 and 9, fixed on each one of the tongues 3 and 4: by means of tworivets 5 5 for each hook. These twin hooks have each of them half of thewidth of the hook 7.

In order to prevent when the pneumatic tire collapses that theattaching-collar 15 of the protecting device may come out of engagementfrom the hooks of the collar, 1 have provided said hooks with twospring-fastenings. Each fastening is composed of a springclamp 10, onwhich a tongue or lever 11 is adapted to act. If the ring 15 of theprotecting device needs to be hung, the tongue 11 must be turned upward,as seen on the left side of Fig. 2, the spring 10 is brought down, andthe ring is permitted to come down into the twin hooks 8 and 9. On theright side of Fig. 2 it is to be seen how the ring 15, placed on theother side of the wheel-rim, is held in the hook. The tongue 11 has beenrocked downward and said tongue has ceased to lean upon the spring 10,which has raised itself and lies now against the inside of the hook 7.The locking of the parts is thus secured, and the ring when thepneumatic tire collapses cannot escape from the hook. On the slottedside of the hook the clamp is held by the two rivets 5 5, which aresituated on the same side of each tongue.

Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the attachingcollar on the slotted side.The rin 15 of the protecting device 16 is maintained firmly upon theedge of that protecting device by means of a bolted plate 17 or by anyother convenient means.

\Vhat I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent 0f the UnitedStates, is-

1. The attaching-collar for non-slipping protecting devices of pneumatictires of any not-cemented systems, comprising a leather piece having inits center an opening corresponding to the spoke of the wheel, suchleather piece being strengthened by a metallic part, and carrying hookswith spring-fastenings, intended for holding the attaching-rings of thenon-slipping protecting device, substantially as above described.

2. An attaching-collar for non slipping protecting devices for pneumatictires comprising a strip of flexible material provided with a centralopening, a reinforcing-plate secured to the strip and provided with acentral opening, hooks on the ends of the plate, for engaging theattaching-ring of the nonslippiug protecting device, and means on thehook to prevent disengagement of the ring.

3. An attaching-collar for non slipping protecting devices for pneumatictires, comprising a plate having a central opening and a slot in the endof the plate communicating with the opening, hooks on the ends of theplate for engaging the rings on the non-slipping device, and means forpreventing disengagement of the rings fromthe hooks.

1. An attaching-collar for non slipping protecting devices comprising aplate provided with a central opening, and a slot on the end of theplate communicating with the opening, a facing of flexible material onthe inner face of the plate, and books on the opposite ends of theplate.

5. In an attaching collar for non-slipping protecting devices thecombination of a plate provided With a facing of flexible material, enceof two Witnesses, this 6th day of F ebrnhooks on the ends of the platefor engaging ary, 1905. the rings of the protecting device, and means onthe plate for preventing disengagement of JULhS CESAR NAPOLEON FOUHLOY'5 the rings from the hooks.
